About Doug and Doris

My Great Grandparents purchased this property before 1900. They worked it as a farm for many years including through the depression. My family decided to start up the farm again in 1968 so we raised Registered Jerseys. We were fortunate to know the owners of the Farm where Elsie The Borden cow resided and we were lucky enough to get a great granddaughter of hers. I named her Daisy. We showed Daisy and Clover at the local fairs and won every conceivable ribbon you could imagine. We lived that life for 5 years. It was a good time. My wife and I tore down the old house in 1991 and put up a duplex and recently decided to start the farm again. We have chickens, a 400# pig named Macon Bacon and Red Clover. We live as much of a homestead life here as we can. Any questions? Don't hesitate to ask.

Doug and Doris purchased this house in 1890

Why Doug and Doris chose East Haddam

It is beautiful, peaceful and relaxing. You can sit in the hot tub and stare at the stars when out at night.

What makes this house unique

The Cedar trees, the brook, the woods Plus, We have a Dry Heat Sauna or jump in the Hot Tub. And don't forget Miss Macon Bacon and her farm friends.

Great for a weekend getaway

We stayed here for two nights for a wedding in Deep River, CT with our toddler and infant. Doug and Doris were very hospitable and their rental is great. It was very clean, which was very appreciated! Plenty of room for the four of us. They had a coffee maker and toaster which we put to good use, as well as a Pack n Play. They left fresh eggs in the fridge and homemade monkey bread on the counter for us. Our son absolutely loved seeing the animals; it was the highlight of his trip. The beds were comfy and the sheets were soft. There was a small grocery store down the road, Sanibel Market, that had staples and good coffee and breakfast food. We had a great stay! Thanks for being wonderful hosts, Doug and Doris!

Quirky little gem!

A few buddies and I were just looking for a break from the city and a place drink beers and melt away in a hot tub. This place certainly did the job. It was really great meeting the cows, chickens, and the big ol' pig! Thanks for the tour Doug. The home is a duplex and the hosts live in the second half, which I wasn't aware of, but thankfully they are good people :)

Comfortable, peaceful visit

Our family of four stayed here in mid-August while on a weekend trip to see Gillette Castle and other area attractions. We enjoyed lunch and ice cream at Two Wrasslin' Cats, and bought groceries in a town called Deep River. Also enjoyed a trip on the Connecticut River with Riverquest. The house was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes. It was great to have a dishwasher too. We enjoyed meeting the animals, hearing the roosters, and the fresh eggs in the fridge. There were plenty of towels and the closets were a good size. On the last morning we stayed I woke up early and saw a beautiful sunrise from the kitchen while having my coffee. Doug was helpful with directions and few other questions we had. Thanks to his whole family for our stay.

Although rooms were on the small size, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen complete & all clean.

Owners were friendly and left fresh baked muffins and farm fresh eggs for us. The rooms were small but beds were comfortable and there was plenty of closet space. Ample air conditioners and fresh towels available. Well stocked kitchen for cooking during your stay. Extremely clean. Thought that the farm roosters, chickens and cows would wake us in the morning but they did not. Property is in the country with the nearest substantial market and shopping areas probably 20 mins away.
